I have been through many bikes and this Sultan is truly the best I have ever had. While in the market for a new bike I test drove almost every fullsuspension 29er there is. The proportions of my bike has the best fit for my 250lb, 6’3” frame which has increased my confidence level in the more technical sections. Nice going to all the guys at Turner for the Sultan.

I wanted to say how happy I am with the new 5-spot, it suites me perfectly... I expected it to be good, but I did not expect to be over the old 5-spot this quickly.
Troy Richardson
Huge fanboy of Turner bikes. Third season on my 5 Spot and it just gets better. Lots of adventures on this bike Canada and the US, keep it tuned and everyone is happy... Best bike I've ever had. Just keeps getting better!
Steve Biggs
Just made the maiden ride on my beautiful new Turner Suspension Bicycles 5Spot and it was nirvana. Special thanks to David Turner and Greg who took great care of this passionate lover of Turner bikes ... you guys rock and can't tell you how much I love the new 5Spot frame ...
Mike Ricci
Turners rock!!!
Chris Kozlowski
Just wanted to let you know I love my new 5-Spot! I took my first real ride today down Noble Canyon and, wow, what a difference from my old Stumpjumper! Ground clearance, climbing, downhill thru the nasties, cornering, handling, balance at low speed, flat out pedaling, plushness... incredible difference. Awesome bike! Doug and Mike at North of the Border Bikes here in San Diego were awesome.
David Johnson
You and your company's patience and great customer service (even with someone with a 7 year old frame) is one of the reasons I'm not considering anything but a Turner for my new bike this year.
Ron Berry
This bike just continues to impress me, whether it's long climbs or the nastiest descents. The DW Spot is the first bike I've ridden that truly blurs the lines between XC- Trail- AM... pick your poison, it does it all!
Lance Gerber
Phenomenal bike, the boys at Turner have a gem on their hands. This is above and beyond anything I've ridden recently or in the past. Looking forward to putting a pile more miles on this thing. Thanks very much!

Just got a Sultan last week. Best bike I have ever ridden! Took my riding to the next level. Rode the Very technical Zen Trail in St. George the second ride and made stuff on the uphill and downhill that I don't think I would have made on another bike. No need for gravity dropper post or sitting back on the seat when dropping in to the gnarlys just sit down and go. The awesome Fox 34 fork, slack angles and the big front just works their magic. You think this set up would be adverse for steep tech climbs but the front wheel stays down and the bike just digs in. Love this bike!
Paul Zembruski
I love my bike! Thank you David Turner
Christine Eikmeier
I just made the switch from the 2010 Turner Sultan to the 2012 and WOW! In one word, Stiff. The stiffness added by the addition of the through axel in the back and the 44 head tube up front make the ride noticeably more precise and some how smoother than the last incarnation. The other big surprise for me is the chain guide, something I did not think I would even use when I ordered the new bike. It improved my front shifting and makes the bike so quiet that on the down hill all you here is the sound of tires on dirt!
Judd Kleinman
Grinning ear to ear after every ride!
Lukas Wibowo
My Sultan is the best riding bike I have ever owned! And I've owned/ridden many bikes over the past two decades! Even my Yeti got shoved to the back of the garage...sorry Yeti....
Genny DeVries
My 1st full suspension bike n it still climbs like my hardtail or better
Henry Thean
I ride a Turner because it's a Turner. The frame material is secondary to the people behind the bike. As long as Turner continue down the same path then I will continue to ride them. . . My 2012 5.Spot is the best bike I have ever owned.
James Evans
...Of the 15 or so bikes I rode, 26, 650b, and 29ers the Burner was the best of them all. I immediately felt like the bike was glued to the trail. It climbed very well and descended like it was on rails... Kudos to Dave on an awesome bike.
David Hamilton
I had a great time at Outerbike, rode a lot of bikes. The Turner Burner was the Best bike I rode (I rode all of the 650). It was a blast to ride, I"ll have to start saving my money to get one.
Timothy Byrd
My 2012 5-Spot is my 7th mountain bike, but my first Turner. WOW, It was a shock to realized what I was missing. Outstanding bike and fantastic customer service. First thing I noticed on the 5-Spot is that it peddles like a hard tail and when you point it downhill it has the stiffness of an Abrams Tank!
John J. Kitt
My hat off for Greg, he solved an issue in the best way I could imagine. Talking about customer service? Turner rocks!!
Thanks guys!!!
Carlos Calleja Morencia
Thank u guys at Turner bikes for a great bike that can keep u riding on and on!! American product and welding keeps us happy! keep up the good work..West Marin, CA
Dennis Irish
Turns so well. The acceleration from a 'pump' is unreal. Launches forward when you crank it. So stable at speed. Its playful and light. What ya waiting for ?...
Myles Kelsey
Best Bikes Period. Going 9 years of riding nothing but Turners. Thanks Dave and Crew!
John Devine
Perfect bikes for all conditions and so versatile depending how you build them! Excellent Quality!
Chris Penn
Unmatched quality, excellent customer service and outstanding design. Best mountain bikes in the world.
Chris Bussiere
Oh how the DHR corners!
Cory Clark
I have a Turner Flux and I am in love with my bike! It's a great climbing bike and it handles the trails incredibly well. Someday I would like to purchase the Sultan or the 5 spot.
Heather Nelson
why look for something better?
the 5.Spot is already the best .... as they were in the past Burner XC and XCE (all proudly in my garage).
After the DW-link, the only real (r)evolution could be the black plastic material .... Dave only knows, but whatever he decides always find space for a new Turner in the garage!
Simone
After a few weeks of ride time on my new 5-Spot I’m floored. Hands down this is the best trail bike I’ve ever ridden. The most surprising part is the suspension; I can’t believe what the bike can handle with minimal travel...No need for anything more. Pedaling is second to none and the unparalleled stiffness makes for top notch handling. This thing kills it.
Ian Collins
The new Burner is absolutely awesome!!! Nice work Turner team you seem to have found the sweet spot!
John Tony Ruiz
The Turner Burner rocked Outerbike. Rode over everything the North 40 Trail had to toss at it! Like you said, if you keep pedaling the bike/d-w link will get you over it! Thank you for bringing them and being there David Turner.
Kerry Dunn
It's like this bike was made for Tahoe. Can't say enough great things about my 5 spot.
Kevin Mortensen
Thought my ’09 Sultan TNT was awesome until rode a demo of the DW version at Sea Otter Classic last year. Was warned "I’ll let you ride it, but you’re gonna want one". Bought one within a month and been loving every minute of it!U.S. made and unmatched support...The way it should be!
Adam Linder
Turner’s Rock! Only problem is that I’m feeling guilty. I just got a 2012 5-Sopt last Fall and now my 2008 Sultan and 2010 Flux are lonely and feeling rejected. They’ve been good rides - loyal and fun, but I’m smitten with this new, younger ride. We need counseling...
Mark Erickson
I bike to work every day and do XC weekly on my hardtail. I plan to get a full suspension bike for trail tracks. I went to many bike shops and had opportunity to test ride most of them. It has been 2 months and I kept coming back to Turner’s shop to ride the Spot again and again. I decided to have one.
N. Jati
I have had my Turner Sultan now since August 2012. I haved logged many hours of trail rides in all types of weather conditions on Pennsylvania’s root-filled and rocky terrain. This bike does it all. I could not happier with the bike, and the service I received from Turner when I ordered the Sultan direct from the company. Great bike, great company!
